ARMOREL--The Armorel Tigers stayed perfect in the 1A-3 East after a 10-0 shutout over the Bay Yellowjackets in five innings Wednesday night at Billy Brown-Hugh Don Ashmore Field.
Ashton Kennedy pitched a three-hit shutout for the Tigers. Kennedy struck out eight and allowed just one walk and three hits over five complete innings of work to pick up the win.
The Tigers scored two runs in each of the second and third innings before putting the game away with six in the home half of the fifth.
